Leaving Iraq in 2011, an aspirational goal

Give us a break, won't you, Herr Bush. The light is at the end of the tunnel in Iraq. A renascent nationalism has forced not only your hand picked stooge al Maliki to ask you to leave and turn out the light, but so has your failure Herr Bush in beginning a war that was wrong in the first place but also a war that showed to the world your incompetence and gross stupidity and blundering. Now even the man you can stomach who is running for your seat in the Oval Office is forced to float a trial balloon of re introducing national service or a draft which should fire up the people you sought to cower into silence as you plucked patriotic strings of there. So Nixon had his Vietnamisation, you've an aspirational goal to withdraw US troops by 2011. You're a dead duck in the water, Herr Bush, but along the way you're pulling down your own country. You were a summer soldier during the war in Vietnam...you're nothing now but a tin horn sheriff with as it is said in Spanish huevos secos.
